Taylor Swift's Golden Globe-nominated 'Cats' song won't be among the Oscar nominees, but 'Parasite' remains on track to bring South Korea its first international feature nomination.
Bringing at least some degree of clarity to an Oscar season that has thus far been fairly unpredictable, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on Monday announced the shortlists of potential nominees in nine categories, including international feature , original song and documentary.
Out of 149 films submitted in the documentary feature category, 15 will advance to the final round of voting, including a number of movies tackling politically charged topics such as “American Factory,” “The Edge of Democracy,” “The Great Hack” and “Knock Down the House” — all four of which, as it happened, were released by Netflix.
Of those, Bong Joon Ho’s dark, genre-scrambling class satire “Parasite” and Pedro Almodóvar’s bittersweet, semi-autobiographical “Pain and Glory” are considered to have the strongest Oscar chances outside the international film category.
